OK, I see that, but that is kind of the problem. The intro page
contains almost all relevant pages, a lot, but not all. That causes
some problems:

1) Is this all the pages that exist?
2) There is no way to get from the intro page to an overview of all
pages (or even indication that there are more pages).
3) There are too many links - too broad headings / too little organization.
4) As a "advanced"

I think we can fix this many ways, but I ended up just suggesting to
(re)add the footer ;-)

By the way, did we consider using the two column layout for the intro
page as we have for the frontpage?
